Larry Silverstein's $4.5 Billion from 9/11

"I remember getting a call from the, uh, Fire Department Commander telling me they were not sure they were going to be able to contain the fire. I
said, "You know, we've had such terrible loss of life, maybe the smartest thing to do is pull it, uh... and they made that decision to pull, and we
watched the building collapse."
~ Larry Silverstein, owner of New York's World Trade Center Building 7, which was demolished on 9/11/2001.

I understand some of this has been discussed before on ATS, but it's been quite some time. Today is the first time I ever heard his entire quote,
which included the, "they made that decision to pull, and we watched the building collapse."

He had to pay some money too in order to fight the insurance companies as well for that. But in the scheme of things he already knew that. Bldg 7 I'm
still researching because it is kind of a mystery to me that it would have been pre-selected for demolition like the towers. It may very well be that
they didn't really know how the towers would fall and they planned to pull # 7 if the towers fell over on it but, as well all saw the towers fell
perfectly. Perhaps not the way they planned or wanted them to. Then they just needed to keep everyone out of the building & area until they could blow
it up. To prevent anyone from snooping around in it.

I guess the new fire department response code nationwide is to "pull the building" if it's been burning for any period of time rather than waste
water, time & manpower trying to put it out. Kinda works in conjunction with Imminent Domain laws uh

Just wonder how much went to "donations" in Israel or to the Mossad retirement fund for unemployed operatives?

Is it likely Silverstein would publicly announce that he had ordered the destruction of WTC7 if it was a huge insurance scam ?

Despite all the wild nonsense allegations the insurance companies have paid up. Anyone who has had anything to do with insurance companies just knows
they will not do this if they have any chance of avoiding liability, i.e. by coming up with any proof of a scam.

What does the masterful motto, "By Way of Deception Thou Shalt Do War," mean to the average American? Surprisingly, most Americans have never heard
of the Mossad motto.

Silverstein Owned bldg 7 long before leasing WTC buildings 1 and 2 in July of 2001. The Lease agreements for WTC bldgs 1 and 2 had a terrorism clause
that permitted Silverstein to stop making his lease payments in the event the buildings were damaged or destroyed in a terrorist attack.

But back to building 7. What important information was housed inside ?

Building 7 housed several key govt. offices such as the IRS, the EEOC, The US Secret Service, the SEC and the CIA.

Building 7 held a considerable amount of evidence pertaining to ongoing investigations by the SEC and EEOC.

Large numbers of case files for ongoing investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Equal Employment Opportunity
Commission (EEOC) were reportedly destroyed in the collapse. The Los Angeles Times reported that "substantial files were destroyed" for 3000 to 4000
of the SEC's cases. The EEOC reported that documents for 45 active cases were destroyed. 3 Before the attack, SEC investigations of corporate fraud
by companies such as Enron and Worldcom were the subject of many news reports -- reports that virtually vanished in the wake of the attack.

But looking at the bigger picture and following the money trail back to Israel are Silversteins relations with the Zionist Israeli Elite as well as
three former Israeli Prime Ministers
Benjamin Netanyahu, Ariel Sharon and Ehud Barak.

Silverstein is especially close to Benjamini Netanyahu, the present Israeli prime minister whom communicate every sunday by telephone.

Netanyahu is also the originator of the phrase
" War on Terror" first quoted from his book

"Fighting Terrorism: How Democracies Can Defeat Domestic and International Terrorism" which was published in 1995

Large numbers of case files for ongoing investigations by the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
(EEOC) were reportedly destroyed in the collapse. The Los Angeles Times reported that "substantial files were destroyed" for 3000 to 4000 of the
SEC's cases. The EEOC reported that documents for 45 active cases were destroyed. 3 Before the attack, SEC investigations of corporate fraud by

Excellent info there, thanks! Do you happen to have a source for the above quote?

Some of the more vocal OS pushers around here will also have you believe he suffered a great financial loss instead of gain. They have no idea why
they think that...but they do.

How can a 100 mil down payment, and then cash in 4.5 Billion be counted as a loss?

Video here of firefighters walking away from Building 7, saying, ""It's blowin' boy." ... "Keep your eye on that building, it'll be coming down
soon." ... "The building is about to blow up, move it back." ... "Here we are walking back. There's a building, about to blow up..."

The facts and eye witness accounts are so obvious; it really amazes me how vehemently people fight the fact that explosives were used.

I heard 98 million purchase price, and 200 million for the asbestos removal. You happen to have sources for these? No worries if you don't really...
the same idea still plays. He got FAAAAR richer by blowing up some buildings.

Just pointing out where fantasy beats fact every time in these discussions.

Only the first 38 floors of WTC Tower 1 had asbestos. Building code requirement changed during construction in the early 70s. It was spray coated as
the standard treatment to prevent flaking. No removal was required. Impending expense was $0.

There is no comprehension of economics in this discussion as loss of revenues from office rents - the reason these are this is the most expensive real
estae in north America, and other losses to NYC and the US, estimated in the hundreds of billions.

All these discussions of Silverstein and the WTC complex end up being are one invented factoid claim from a dumb 9/11 site or video against another.

The quotes in the article you provided are from an insurance trial/real estate magazine

I think I'll believe the videos, eye witness accounts, and Silverstein's own voice at the time...

Would you lie for $4.5 billion? In his mind he made a great business deal and allegedly no more loss of life happened because of the implosion of Bldg
7.

If there is evidence of an insurance scam, as you suggest, why have the insurance companies paid out multi-millions ? They have investigators and are
not slouch's when it comes to resisting paying out if they can help it. Why have they just paid up and not argued the case if there is evidence they
are being ripped off ?

Also, I think truthers need to sort out what was the supposed purpose of this alleged murderous conspiracy. A cause for war and repression at home or
an insurance scam to help out Larry Silverstein ?
